Pros

The breaks and time off. 2 weeks at Christmas, 1 week at Thanksgiving, 1 week Spring Break, and 2 months off in the summer

Cons

At the mercy of the principal of your individual school. May be assigned numerous other duties. Also greatly depends on the school's culture.

Pros

Kids are awesome and from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds. They are usually well behaved and appreciate the opportunity they were granted to study in the US.

Cons

They are subject to the same high stake tests that native speakers are, so it can be really unfair and frustrating for both the educators and students.
